"Aankhein Senkna" is a colloquial idiom which means ' line maarna' or birdwatching.... now there are some experts like Swami jee and Premi jee who can 'senkoed' their hands with their eyes(who said population is always a problem)...

Reason: on advice from Chitraal pai... some feminine zindagi somewhere

Add: *I read somewhere that Mazrooh liked the line "terii aa.Nkho.n ke sivaa duniyaa me.n rakkhaa kyaa hai" so much that he wrote to Faiz if he could use that as a mukhda for one of his songs...Faiz gladly permitted and so Mazrooh went on to write terii aa.Nkho.n ke sivaa duniyaa me.n rakkhaa kyaa hai....

Interestingly many shaayars borrow misra from other poets... like Gulzar borrowed "Dil Dhoondhta hai " from ghalib(there are two versions of that ghazal...one is" jee dhoondhta hai"... no one is sure..what was the original)... and Sudarshan Faakir borrowed "Ik brahaman ne kaha hai"... from ghalib again for his classic....

Add to Dil dhoondhta hai: Gulzar wrote it as Jee Dhoondhta hai.... Madan Mohan changed it to Dil Dhoondhta hai... Gulzar was somewhat scared to fiddle with Ghalib's line... but Madan mohan showed him one of the oldest copies of deewan-e-ghalib mentioning it as dil dhoondhta hai...
